AT&T and
Univision announce the launch of the Univision 2010 FIFA World Cup app, the first Spanish-language TV app available from U-verse TV. In addition to delivering live access to all 64 matches via Univision, TeleFutura and Galavision, AT&T will provide comprehensive Univision Spanish-language content in the U-verse TV On Demand library, and exclusive Mexican National Team Spanish content across multiple screens. AT&T is bringing fans more ways than any other provider to follow the 2010 FIFA World Cup with live and on demand coverage across screens.
The U-verse Univision 2010 FIFA World Cup app includes a Univision Multiview that lets you watch the Univision, TeleFutura and Galavision channels featuring World Cup matches on your screen at one time. The app also features athlete bios, photos, groupings and the latest team standings straight from South Africa to your U-verse TV screen in Spanish.
Broadcasting all of the event's 64 matches in HD, this summer Univision will be transformed into the U.S. FIFA World Cup destination, leveraging its market-leading assets — Univision, TeleFutura, Galavision, Univision.com, Univision Movil, and Univision On Demand — to deliver a one-of-a-kind experience for its audiences with nearly 900 hours of comprehensive coverage. AT&T customers can live this experience via the U-verse Univision 2010 FIFA World Cup Multiview, which includes the ability to watch Univision, TeleFutura, Galavision and your local Univision and TeleFutura stations at one time, based on market and programming package. You can choose which channel appears as the main picture with audio. The app is available on channel 3001 to all U-verse TV customers at no extra charge.
Complete live Univision FIFA World Cup coverage will be available to U-verse TV customers on Univision (channel varies by market), TeleFutura (3005) and Galavision (3003). After each match, all games will be added in both Standard Definition and HD to the U-verse TV On Demand library. The FIFA World Cup on Univision will begin airing live on Friday, June 11, at 8:00 a.m. Eastern/7:00 a.m. Central/5:00 a.m. Pacific. A complete schedule of Univision's FIFA World Cup coverage is available at
www.UnivisionFutbol.com.
The U-verse TV On Demand library will also offer special Univision Spanish-language content such as a tour of the Mandela Bay Stadium built for this year's World Cup; videos providing information and history of Johannesburg and South Africa; and the "FIFA Road to the World Cup" series, which takes a close look at all 32 teams participating in the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
In addition to Univision's coverage and as a proud sponsor of the Mexican Men's National Team, AT&T will have exclusive access to content featuring the team's "El Tri: Mision Sudafrica" available online at AT&T FanZone, through the U-verse TV On Demand library and on mobile phones through AT&T Mobile Video.
AT&T will also have live and interactive U-verse TV content available in English, Arabic, German, Japanese, Korean and Portuguese.
